Is there a difference between caring for someone and loving them?

Question - (28 November 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 November 2007)
A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I was seeing a girl for about a year until 2 weeks ago when she decided to end things. The reason being "buried" feelings for her ex resurfaced. she is not with him now/yet but said she wanted clarity and possibly give it another go with him in the future to see what happens. only days before she dumped me, she was telling me how much she cared for me, how she was happiest with me, how she never got to see me enough. So i was slightly bewildered and very hurt when she ended things.

i loved her, she never knew at the time but she has been told now, she doesn't believe me. she says she doesn't love me but does care for me and does have feelings for me, i don't understand the difference and would like to know what exactly the difference is if possible. and how do i get over this? i feel like i have been royally screwed especially considering how kindly i treated her and the fact i raised concerns about her ex and she assured me he was not a threat many times. if she does end up back with him, i will hate for it, which does not bode well as we work together.

Thanks

I really feel for you man but you gotta face reality.You were just someone to fill up the space left by her ex and now that she's realised you can never be him and now wants him back.Atleast she's honest that she's not in love with you.FORGET ABOUT HER AND MOVE ON.Don't even think of anything funny to revenge.The chik loved her ex all the time.1 consolation,she tried to get over him just for you but failed.She was hoping very much that her ex will not come between you two but wasn't 100% sure.Believe me,she'd give anything to love you because she loves everything about you but can't bring herself to love you.Let her deal with her emotions and move on.If she comes back it's your gain but think twice.

Good luck.
